Good thing it was platters dropping and not precious china. I didn’t know about this type of hanger. I’ve been looking for hangers at yard sales for the plates I’ve wanted to hang. I like the idea of not seeing the hanger too. Thanks for the info.

I love those disc hangers. I used some in my dining room for some plates and have never had a problem with them. I think I let them dry for 48 hours just because I was paranoid! I certainly have enough silver platters laying around here so I may copy your look for another wall.

Had a shocking “plate hitting the floor” experience myself with these exact same doohickey hangers. But it is my own darn fault. I got anxious to hang the plates and didn’t let the adhesive completely dry. Rats. I’m happy to say that I’ve learned from my mistakes and have been “shatter-free” for months now. Your bathroom wall looks fantastic. Can’t wait to see the big reveal!

Hi Melissa, popping over from the party at I Heart Naptime because your gorgeous wall of silver just caught my eye! Wow, I love this and thanks so much for the tips on hanging. It looks just beautiful! Have a great Sunday.

Great silver tray collection. I like the way you arranged them. The Discs are a great way to hang them. Thanks for the tip. I’ve used them before on plates with good results, but as you said you have to attach them properly.

Great idea! What I like most is your comment ‘One of the joys of getting married in the 90′s’ :)’ ! I could never figure that one out (then) as to why people gave us silver ‘plated’ trays and not the REAL silver.
If you do come up with a good idea for what to do with all those compotes / sherbet bowls that came as wedding gifts, please do share.
